syzygy Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 Just checked only Red Lion is listed as 3* from priceline.Expedia offer $139, while Hotwire offer $93Since I still have enough time, I don't want to bid too high, where should I start to bid? Thanks! Link to comment
Scorp Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 I would check Hotwire again, I see a 3* for $70, which might be the Red Lion, it has these amenities:OceanfrontNear BeachRestaurant(s)Pool(s)Fitness CenterBusiness CenterLaundry Facilities (self-service)I don't think you would do a whole lot better than that through Priceline. How soon would you like to confirm your stay? And keep in mind, that although the Red Lion is the only property that has been reported as a winning 3* bid, that doesn't mean that there can't be other hotels that show up. I would use that Hotwire amount as my upper limit. We saw a previous win at $58 but that was off-season, I believe. So I would start to bid at $60 or $65, for your July dates. But, depends on how quickly you want your stay confirmed and how important a $5 or $10 difference means to you! :) If you really want to save the most and don't mind bidding over a couple of weeks, you can start lower, of course.

syzygy Posted June 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 Just got it, $55 first bid. Thanks. Link to comment
Scorp Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 That's great, you got a really good deal! You might even ask nicely and get a room with a water view... !!! Those smaller town hotels can be tricky to bid sometimes, and of course there are no free rebids!!!! Link to comment
